C# VS2010 Determine in application whether being debugged

Question

Is there a chance to determine in an C# application whether it is currently being debugged? The idea is to ignore e.g timeouts, or to provide additional information.

Just to make this clear, I am not talking about the conditional compiler flag DEBUG. This allows me to decide how the code shall be compiled. It gives no information about whether it is run in a debugger or not.

I need to decide at runtime, not at compile time.

Answer 1

You can use the Debugger.IsAttached flag to determine this.
